Littlestown Area SD reports progress on Building C, updates schedule and occupancy

Littlestown Area School District staff updated the board of directors on progress at the Building C construction project during the district’s public meeting. Staff said the project has entered the first phase of work and several key areas are now complete.

The construction presenter told the board that “we're moved into the first section, first phase of the project. So that's kind of a major milestone,” and said the schedule was adjusted: Phase 2’s new completion date is listed as 06/25/25 and Phase 3’s as 11/21/25. The presenter said the total contract duration is 27 months and that 17 months have been expended to date.

District staff reported several finished tasks in Building C: final cleaning of the space; completion of new offices and the reception area; fire-pump testing; plumbing work and science-room fit-outs on the second floor; and the Family and Consumer Science room on the first floor. Staff also said the district had received a temporary certificate of occupancy from the mill department in Willestown Borough and that a furniture contractor has placed new furniture in Building C. The presenter added that teachers and staff have moved into the building (dates given in the meeting were unclear).

Board discussion focused on schedule and milestones rather than new contract actions. No formal motions or votes on the project were recorded in the transcript excerpt. The presenter emphasized remaining items and the revised timeline as the district moves toward later-phase completions.

Next steps noted in the update include completing Phase 2 and Phase 3 by the new target dates and finishing outstanding commissioning and punch-list items; staff did not announce any new funding requests or contract amendments during the report.
